American Kitchen Classic Louisiana Gumbo image

Gumbo is perhaps the signature dish, a cross cultural dish, of both cuisines, Cajun and Creole. Creole cooking is city cooking: refined, delicate and luxurious, developed and originally prepared by servants while Cajun cooking is French cooking techniques on a host of new ingredients unknown from the Cajuns stays in Nova Scotia and France, exotic forms of meat, game, fish, produce, and grains.

This gumbo is not worth the effort. It's time-consuming to make and the flavor is just okay.

I was disappointed with this gumbo. The flavor was bland and the texture was too thick. I won't be making this recipe again.

This gumbo is a little spicy for my taste, but it's still really good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

I've made gumbo many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The holy trinity of celery, onions, and bell peppers really shines through. And the addition of okra gives it a nice slimy texture that I love.

This gumbo was a hit at my Mardi Gras party! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect. The roux was a little tricky, but I'm glad I took the time to make it right. It gave the gumbo such a rich, deep flavor.
